DESCRIPTION

The Cdk label widget creates a pop-up label window. The following
functions create or manipulate the Cdk label widget.

AVAILABLEFUNCTIONS

activateCDKLabel
obsolete entrypoint which calls drawCDKLabel.
destroyCDKLabel
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object
used.
drawCDKLabel
draws the label widget on the screen. If the box parameter is
true, the widget is drawn with a box.
eraseCDKLabel
removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the
widget.
getCDKLabelBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
getCDKLabelMessage
returns the contents of the label widget. The parameter
messageLines points to the location which will be given the number
of message-lines.
moveCDKLabel
moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters xpos
and ypos are the new position of the widget. The parameter xpos
may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM,
and CENTER. The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the
pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. The parameter
relative states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or
an absolute move. For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and
relative = TRUE, then the widget would move one row down and two
columns right. If the value of relative was FALSE then the widget
would move to the position (1,2). Do not use the values TOP,
BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative = TRUE. (weird
things may happen). The final parameter refresh is a boolean
value which states whether the widget will get refreshed after the
move.
